In the archives of the palace of Peterhoff. near St. Petersburg. there lies one of the most remark- I able documents ever penIed. says the London Chronicle. This is nothing more nor less than a plan for the Russian con quest of Europe, drawn up by the hand of Peter the Great, and be queathed by him in the form of a testament to his successors. It was reproduced. thirty years ago. in a Gernsey paper. and in the light of present (lay events contains much interesting reading. In the first clause Peter gives the following counsel: Keep the Russian nation in a constant state of warlike readiness. and the soldier prepared for battle anld warlike activity: choose the mo10,t opp-rtune mioimentz for a,-! re~ss1io and thus make peace serve the ends of war. and war prolote. the objec-.; of peace. in the inter est of the aggrandizement and ,row,1ig prosperity of Russia. Secondly, he urges Russia to gather together. during PLeace. learned men from the several most ntelligent natiolls of Europe. that the Russian nation May profit by the advance of other countries. In the third clause lie advises minis ters to mix themselves on ail oc ca:sion inl the negotiatior.; and di agreements of the people I r i.%rope. andi. above aI" tiose o! t' rmtn, vhich. frl its cv Thek-n ;lw in1strutionXv for 1ubjuton of olan. v i:cll -11 cIiudes wvith the craftv suggestitn ha.if thek nIg-Qhbonrin- P (-:oD_ -. dtIfnculties, they Sli'd hI So!thed for a time by apportioninl shares in such a manner that the gift MaV he revoked.

It will serve tis view to ist date her fromi Denmark. and D)enm'ark fromP Sweden. or to roster carefully their rivalry. WVith regard to England Pete.r counsels is country to cultivate. alliance with her in commercial matters in p)referenice to all others. The next advice tendlered to Ruis sia is signicant: Encroach as far as possible in the dlirection of Constantinople and thw Inidies. He who reigns. there will be the true ruler of the wvorld. To work this out, raise wars con tinually-at onie time against Tur key, at an other against Persia: hasten the dlecay of Persia and pen etrate to the Persian Gulf: estab) lish. if possible. via Syria. the an cient commerce of the East, and pulshl onwardls to the Indies, which are the entrepot of the world.
